Thank you sir.
But I have a better idea. How about I come up there, we both take a brake, and go ice fishing?

[72gy8se]

Time to work on the floor pans!
The 1st thing I have to do is patch the rear seat pan.

[mopar4don]

then transfer the patch to a piece of sheet metal

[mopar4don]

bend the wing up

Then I put an offset in the sheet metal  (were the black line is)

[mopar4don]

here is the patch tacked in

[mopar4don]

and it's all done

[darbgnik]

Top notch skills.

I still can't get over the Coronet you erased from the histories!

[orange383]

Good job!

[mopar4don]

Thanks guys... And what was left of that Coronet will live on in this Charger

Here you can see the pans fit great

[mopar4don]

Transfered the edge of the framerails to the pan so I could drill the holes for plug welding.

[mopar4don]

Sprayed the weld thru primer on everything

[mopar4don]

Then I did a LOT of plug welding 

[chapel40]

Man!! You are very patient and talented!!

Sorry I haven't done any updates on the restoration.


My family recently mourned the loss of my 7 month old grand daughter.

She was absolutely perfect in every way! She had a smile that just drew you to her! When she smiled her whole body smiled, especially those big beautiful eyes!

Saying good bye to a loved one has been hard. But seeing your son and daughter-in-law say good bye to there baby girl is the worst thing I have been through.

I have questions that no-one can answer.

But I have faith that she is with my lord and savior Jesus. And one day, I will see her again!
And even though our hearts have a hole that she once filled,
I thank GOD that he brought her into our lives.

I miss you, and I LOVE YOU "PIPES"
your Gre-pa


My son posted this song and I thought I would share it along with a picture

[Charger-Bodie]

Sorry for your terrible loss. So sad

[birdsandbees]

As I said elsewhere Don, Life just isn't fair !  I, unfortunately, fully understand the grief of losing a child and have a good idea where your mind is these days. Gonna take a lot of time, but your car restoration is a good place to spend it!   

[BLK 68 R/T]

So sorry to hear. Prayers to you and your family.

[Stevearino]

Oh my Don. I have a 2 1/2 year old grand son and can only  imagine your grief. Knowing you are a man of faith helps me to know you have something to hold on to in what must seem like an unimaginably cruel event. I am so sorry for your loss and the tragedy for your son and daughter-in-law have had to endure. There are no words.

[JB400]

Sorry to hear this.
